====Is Blue Archive F2P====
* F2P income is pretty good ([https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/GameplayHelp_FAQs#F2P_Income 1 spark every 2 months]), but you’d have to whale or be insanely lucky to collect all the gacha-only students.
* Luckily, most students are [https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/GameplayHelp_FAQs#Limited_&_welfare permanent], and they’re pretty good about [https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Banner_List reruns].

==Rerolling==

<br>
* See [https://bluearchive.midokuni.com/doc/Rerolling Midokuni’s reroll guide] tab for a more thorough reroll guide.

====Unit ratings & dates====

Who’s must pull?
* [https://hina.loves.midokuni.com/Summary/Banner Midokuni’s Banner Summary]. The closest thing is “enabler” here. Check “collab” and “limited” if you’re a collector.

Additional advice:
<br>
====Limited & welfare====
Check a student’s type on [https://schale.gg/?chara=Haruna_NewYear Schale.gg].
[[File:SchaleExample.jpeg|thumb]]
Permanent:
* Students who join the general pool. You can pull them anytime.
Limited
* Have the [https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/Banner_List unique or limited tag].
* They don’t join the general pool; you can only summon them when their banners are up.
* ''You can’t summon them from the expert shop!''
[https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/GameplayHelp_FAQs#Festivals_and_100_free_pulls Limited festival]:
* Wakamo, S. Hoshino, Mika, S. Hanako, D. Hina, etc.
* They can be pulled in any festival, but you can only spark them if their banner is up.
[[File:FilterLimited.jpeg|thumb|Example of filtering for limiteds]]
Welfare/event:
* Free students from events.
* You can summon them during that event, or after their event is archived.
* When archived, you can buy elephs via expert permit shop.
Bond gear
* Students
Farmables:
* Students whose elephs can be farmed. Commonly from (but not limited to) hard quests, events, and shops.
* See [https://bluearchive.midokuni.com/doc/FarmableSummary Midokuni’s “farmable summary” tab].
==Spark plans==

====Pyro planner====
[[File:Pyroplanner.jpeg|right|thumb|Pyro planner example]]
* [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_Zjt_OM9XXidY3uYYDK92W9GrR3DN5cQsZ0IJsoEbjY/edit#gid=1082031226 The Pyro Planner]
* Or estimate 12k pyro a month and use [https://hina.loves.midokuni.com/Summary/Banner Midokuni’s banner summary].
* Your daily PvP reward is based on ''your current rank'' when claimed, not when PvP resets. Climb before you claim.

1.

Full tutorials:
<br>
2. Boost Serina to 2★. It’s cheap and improves her free heals & EX.
[[File:EvasionTanks.jpeg|thumb|Good tank examples for the early game (except Natsu)]]
<br>
3. Use tanks with high evasion like Tsubaki and Yuuka. They use SMG weapons (exception: Natsu uses her EX to sustain).
<br>
<br>
Other tips:
* Tanks who rely on defense (non-SMG) need their Tier 4 bag tank properly.
* After T4: Tsubaki is even stronger, Yuuka struggles a bit compared to others (still perfectly capable). She gets super strong with T1 [https://bluearchive.wiki/wiki/GameplayHelp_FAQs#Bond_gear bond gear].
* S. Hoshino is a tanky support, not a true tank. Wait until she can solo the frontlines (usually with a T4 bag).
* If brawlers are too annoying to keep alive, use Hanae, an aoe healer, or skip them. E.g. Izuna, S. Izuna, Michiru, Sumire, Tsurugi.
* Purchase one T4 blueprint set from the expert permit shop to make a T4 bag for your main tank. It’s a big survivability boost.
* Since resources are scarce (especially level 70+), only invest in who you need to clear content. You can expand your roster later when you’re richer.
* Ignore A stages for now (e.g. 3-A). They’re harder and you don’t need them for cafe upgrades.
<br>
Line 230 ⟶ 233:
====Maps & challenges====
* For maps: [https://bluearchive.wikiru.jp/?21章 JP Wikiru] and [https://schale.gg/?stage=1152103 Schale.gg] (maps tab).
* YouTube is your best friend. Some examples

*
* You can complete three star objectives one at a time for every stage in the game.
<br>
Line 272 ⟶ 275:
====Gear====
*
Generally:
* Farm the highest tier and go down (gear can drop itself & parts used to make it. [https://schale.gg/?stage=1201101 Example]). Left-most blueprint has a higher rate.
*
* T4 bags is a huge survivability boost for tanks; newer players can grab them via expert permit shop.
* Use [https://justin163.com/planner/ Justin’s planner] to see the most optimal sweeps for gear farming.
* Prioritize important students for upcoming raids or difficult content.
<br>
====Skills====
Who to skill up:
* Generally save for raids. Mats are sparse, and skills are helpful but not necessary for missions. EX3 is fine on your main aoe DPS if you want to zoom.
* Can boost healers, but EX3 at most early on (if you even need that).
* Tanks don’t have much stats to scale with until end-game. Many don’t even need skill levels; gear and student levels can be enough.
Other tips:
* Stick to the breakpoints; EX: 3, 5. Other skills: 4, 7, 10. These give the most “bang for your buck.”
* Be very picky with popular schools Gehenna, Millennium, and Trinity.
* You can use this wiki, [https://justin163.com/planner/ Justin’s planner], or [https://schale.gg/?chara=Haruna_NewYear Schale.gg] to figure out total resources needed for leveling.

Other tips:
[[File:BorrowPower.jpeg|thumb|Example of how easily a good borrow can carry you through hardcore raids]]
* Go for the safe strategies, not the maldy wanpan comps (hair-pulling 1 team speed runs).
* For example: 2 team Kaiten had an aoe team for phase 1, and a single target & shield breaking team for phase 2. ''If you’re strong enough'', you can brute force it and crit mald with one team. Otherwise, do it the safe way. See [https://j163.au/#CausewsGeneralRaidGuide Causew’s General Raid guide] for more info.
* Wanpans are not even the fastest option sometimes. Depends on the boss, terrain, and available units.

* Generally Aru and Yuuka > others, but whoever you use and like really. Just equipping it is basically free and a buff.
* The T2 bond gear is a bit of a grind, but gift selectors (via fusion crystals from JFD) & the crafting revamp helps with that.

** It only affects those who are barely clearing ShiroKuro insane and above. If you’re already far into bodythrowing, missing an extra 600k can be quite significant.
** This is actually more of a trade off; you take less attacks from the boss. If you put dps students in the Airi team, they will live longer, which means they deal more damage.
